{I did leave out the milk so the chocolate chips wouldn't fall to the bottom}

3 Tbsp. chopped Ghiridelli 60% Cocoa chips.

This recipe actually made 3 cupcakes for me since the liners only needed to be filled 1/2 full.

Then, I made the cookie dough. If you don't have a great Chocolate Chip cookie recipe, my best-ever recipe can be found here. Or, you could just use some store bought dough as well.

To assemble, first spoon batter into 3 cupcake liners - only HALF full. Place a flat round of cookie dough on top and cook at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when tested in the center of a cupcake and the cookie on top is browned.

Just look:

It's a cookie...it's a cupcake...

Now, for the frosting:

I'd say to go with whichever is your favorite...in my house, we like

Cream Cheese

2 oz. Cream Cheese

1 Tbsp. Butter, room temp

Splash of Vanilla

Powder Sugar

Beat first 3 ingredients until well incorporated. Add sugar slowly until your preferred consistancy is reached. I also had some left over Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting, so I swirled them together!
